Investigation of the benefits of carbonate cementation due to addition of low percentage of hydrated lime in the base courses of pavements
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Carbonate cementation is a natural phenomenon. Constant fluctuation of the chemical conditions in the nature causes calcium carbonate to dissolve and reprecipitate as a cementing agent. Research showed that this natural ...
Induction loop detector systems crosstalk
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Reducing congestion on U.S. urban roadways has become a top priority of state departments of transportation nationwide. The development and construction of freeway management systems have recently begun to help reduce ...
Characterization of ethylene biosynthesis in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fruiting form as a means to improve early season fruit set
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
The metabolism of I-aminocyclopropane-l-carboxylic acid (ACC) was investigated in cotton fruiting forms harvested at four stages (3 day pre-anthesis, 1 day preanthesis, anthesis, 3 day post-anthesis). Comparing bracts, the ...
The combined immunoenhancing effects of vitamins E & A, E & Beta-carotene and E & canthaxanthin
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Three experiments investigated the combined effects of supplemental vitamin E (a-tocopherol acetate) with 1) vitamin A (retinyl acetate), 2) 9-carotene, or 3) canthaxanthin (CX), on the performance of Single Comb White ...
Estimates of the absorbed fraction of energy for various electron source and target regions in the upper respiratory tract
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Estimates of radiation absorbed dose for internal emitters are needed for the evaluation of the risks associated with various intakes of radionuclides. When the intake route is inhalation, target tissues of interest will ...
Toward a rhetorical understanding of christian apologetics: a case study of Cornelius Van Til's presuppositional apologetics
(Texas A&M University, 1994)

Characterization of the cervix in cycling mares using ultrasound
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Fourteen mares, 6 Arabians and 8 Thoroughbreds, were used to examine the efficacy of ultrasound for the evaluation of the mare's cervix during the estrous cycle. Within a 125-day period during the physiologic breeding ...
A cost-effective, environmentally-responsive ground-water monitoring procedure
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Ground-water monitoring is the primary method used to protect our ground-water resources. The primary objectives of monitoring programs are to detect, to attribute, and to mitigate any changes in-water quality or quantity. ...
Anticipating the atom: popular perceptions of atomic power before Hiroshima
(Texas A&M University, 1994)
Before Hiroshima made the Bomb an object of popular concern, possible implications and applications of atomic physics had been discussed in the public forum. The new science of X-rays and radium promised the possibilities ...
